About OptiBee

    Practical AI. A person you can work with.

    OptiBee is a founder-led AI consultancy in Manchester, helping UK SMEs turn repetitive work into useful, dependable systems. Every client works directly with Toby Remond.

    Meet Toby Remond

    Toby is the founder of OptiBee AI Ltd. He works with business owners and their teams to understand how work happens today, find where AI can help, and introduce improvements that fit the people using them. The starting point is your workflow, not a particular tool.

    How we work

    An AI audit examines the processes, tools and recorded effort behind your business. It produces a costed 90-day plan. An embedded transformation engagement puts that plan into practice with your team. Bespoke builds address needs that existing software does not meet, including custom CRMs and workflow automation. Scope and price are agreed before work starts; implementation is scoped separately from the audit.

    Who we help

    We work with UK small and medium-sized businesses that want a practical route into AI: less copying information between systems, better document handling, and software that supports the way their teams work. We are based in Manchester and can discuss remote or on-site work. The right approach depends on your processes, data and existing tools.

    See the work before deciding

    Our published Step case study explains stepBot, an AI student-support and interview-preparation system. Case studies distinguish what was built, tested and measured. You can also apply for the free AI First Half-Day, where one business each week explores its opportunities with Toby.
